Drew Peterson, Kathleen Savio, Will County, Illinois, Kevin Fox

By whereabouts67
The information contained in this article is very important in my opinion, and since
the FBI has indicated that they are now investigating the Riley Fox murder, I think it
is even more important. It’s also important to note that Janet Alexander was the
Chief Deputy Coroner at the time of Kathleen Savio’s death and Coroner’s inquest,
yet she has never been called to testify or even interviewed by the State and I find
that very curious and interesting, and so should you.
I met Janet Alexander during the initial searches for Stacy Peterson in early
November 2007. I knew from the moment I met her, that she was a very special
person. Since that time, Janet and I have become friends and I am happy to say
that I have been surrounded by many individuals who have the highest levels of
integrity, and Janet is one of those individuals. In fact, Janet rates near or at the top
of the list for level of personal and professional integrity. I am blessed to know such
a high quality individual.

his fourth wife, was charged Thursday with murdering his third wife, whose 2004
death had been deemed accidental before authorities revisited it once Stacy

The following was posted in the blog http://petersonstory.wordpress.com in
response to my comments stating Janet Alexander was Will County’s Chief Deputy
Coroner at the time of Kathleen Savio’s autopsy and Coroner’s Inquest and not the
individual they have listed as a potential “witnesses” for the state in Drew
Peterson’s Trial for the murder of Kathleen Savio.

Don’t mean to spam, but I wanted to respond to angellove1 above: Kevin Fox IS
innocent – the DNA test (of which there were two, which is why there was a red
flag) exonerated him.

Folks, let’s stay on topic please. Thanks!

A little bit of history here for those who have not followed this post line before.
The “PetersonStory” blog posts all things Drew and Stacy Peterson. I discovered
the blog the other day while looking for forums discussing Drew Peterson’s
upcoming trial. Yesterday, there was a post about potential witnesses for the
State of Illinois in the case against Drew Peterson for the murder of his third wife,
Kathleen Savio. I noticed they had an incorrect Chief Deputy Coroner listed and I
made mention of that. You can view the post history here:

performed:

My response to longshot7 posted here:

longshot, first, FYI, you have the facts incorrect. Two rape test kits not only
VIOLATES ALL PROTOCOL but it will TAINT the DNA evidence making it
INADMISSIBLE in court if challenged accordingly. Are you saying you are AWARE
that there were two test kits performed and multiple samples taken? Please, do
explain how you know of two test kits when Will County State’s Attorney James
Glasgow has publicly stated otherwise?

As stated in this webslueths post (the articles are too old to post links to):

http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showpost.php?p=922545&postcount=5, Pat
O’Neil fired his Chief Deputy Coroner. Janet Alexander was fired, according to her
lawsuit, because she QUESTIONED the inaccurate procedure of the Coroner’s
office in the Riley Fox investigation, among other things. What transpired in the
court proceedings is something that the public needs to be made aware of. It is
incredible that there are those who want to see this covered up and swept under
the rug and more incredible is that those such as yourself believe in the power of
the pen as you would in anything that is solely “faith based”. You have
attempted to state fact with falsities on top of using the words of reporters and
journalists who have not fully done their homework and who have reported with
a biased opinion because of their own lack. You, my friend, have put your faith
and trust in the wrong people.

The statement you made regarding the rape test kits is not consistent with the
law of DNA handling and testing. DNA can be transferred by a handshake; you
cannot swab the same area twice as the 2nd swab will be smeared and
potentially tainted. You absolutely cannot do 2 complete tests because that will,
and possibly has in the Riley Fox case, taint the DNA evidence. Further, it breaks
up the chain of evidence which is crucial to prosecution. Where is the second
test kit? Which one is the first one? Which one is the second one? Were the kits
marked as Test Kit #1 and Test Kit #2 so as to ensure integrity in the chain of
evidence? Without a record of which kit is which kit, you cannot know if the DNA
samples are pure. If the test kits were not properly identified then they are both
worthless. The first swab will be the clean swab with the good DNA. Multiple
swabs, each from a different part of the body in one kit is good but two complete
kits requires multiple swabbing of the SAME areas of the body which smears any
DNA present thereby rendering it tainted. Then there is also the increased
potential for the transferring of DNA from the pathologist to victim via a cough, a
sneeze, a drop of sweat, etc., and onto a second swabbing. Simply put, YOU
CANNOT DO TWO TEST KITS!

But there WERE two complete rape test kits completed on Riley Fox as the
lawsuit alleges and there is supporting evidence to back up that claim, I am told.
WHERE IS THE SECOND TEST KIT? What happened to that evidence? Every
pathologist completes a report. There is a record of two full kits being
performed and THAT IS WHAT WAS SWEPT UNDER THE RUG AND CONTINUES TO
BE SWEPT UNDER THE RUG. This is the same Coroner who handled the Kathleen
Savio Inquest. The same coroner who was being sued for his improper handling
of the Riley Fox autopsy by ordering two complete test kits – that is why he was
sued.

Why didn’t the attorney representing Will County against Kevin Fox make it
known during the trial that THERE WERE TWO TEST KITS PERFORMED AND THAT
THE DNA EVIDENCE WAS TAINTED because of that fact? This same law firm who
represented Pat O’Neil and the Coroner’s office against Janet Alexander’s
lawsuit also represented Will County against Kevin Fox! Say what? That is
correct; THE SAME LAW FIRM. I cannot stress this portion of it more, the Law
firm that defended Pat O’Neil and the Will County Coroner’s office against former
Chief Deputy Coroner of Will County, Janet Alexander, who sued because the
Coroner improperly ordered the contracted pathologist to perform and complete
2 separate rape test kits on 3 year old Riley Fox, is the SAME law firm that
represented Will County in their fight against her accused murderer, Kevin Fox
who was using the TAINTED DNA test results that exonerated him as evidence
against the Will county’s Sheriff’s police. Kevin Fox was released from jail
BECAUSE of the DNA test results yet the collection of DNA evidenced was
FLAWED! This law firm knew there were two complete test kits because they
were on the OPPOSITE side of another case dealing with the SAME evidence!
That law firm failed to address this in court – they failed in their fiduciary
obligation to their client, the Will County Sheriff, and that led to Will County
losing their case against Kevin Fox. The erroneous passing of inaccurate
 information coupled with the ignorance that will buy into what they hear and
read with a “faith based” belief system is what led to that legal disaster and it is
the very same thing that led to Kathleen’s Savio’s unspeakable murder and
resulting accidental death determination.

Let us not forget that that same improper and potentially illegal ordering of two
complete rape test kits on Riley Fox led to her confessed killer being released.
The DNA evidence is TAINTED and therefore INADMISSIBLE – the prosecution of
Kevin Fox should have moved forward. Instead, Will County tax payers are
looking to be held liable to pay this individual who CONFESSED to murdering his
own daughter 15.5 Million dollars!

THIS NEEDS TO BE EXPOSED!

You, the media reporters out there, need to make much more effort to learn what
it is that you speak of before you put pen to paper for your words can be truly
damaging, and the truth suffers greatly because of it.
